I'd not like that one because of something I'm thinking about right now. I'd like a menu system I started working on recently to retrieve additional data (e.g. background bitmap files, font files...) via tftp; or NFS at user's discretion. For me, a callback function in etherboot like retrieve_file ( char * url, (void *)(block_management_function) would be the ideal solution. This would even open the possibility for e.g. harddisk restorage via multicast tftp... ideas open. In any case, NFS would be called from probably more than two points in etherboot code. Setting the recursion variable only inside that function was the safest way to go. Anselm |
